You should prepare a ‘….orig.tar.gz’ that contains all the non-Debian-packaging source (i.e. everything except the ‘debian/’ directory), and a ‘….diff.gz’ that applies the Debian packaging to that tarball. Read the Debian Developer's Reference for guidance on this. > So my question is: How can I remove this dash? Your program is not Debian-specific, so it should be a non-native package; thus, its package version string should have an “upstream” version (the version number of the program work) and a release number (the number of Debian packaging releases made of the same version), separated by a dash. Read the Debian Policy Manual for the exact format of the version string. -- \ “When we call others dogmatic, what we really object to is | `\ their holding dogmas that are different from our own.” —Charles | _o__) Issawi | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
